Other Day Challenges

 Hi! Kylie here with the Other Date Challenges.

Please read the Rules/Guidelines on each Challenge blog to confirm you are meeting their criteria. Keep in mind that this is a summary only. Details are on the specific Challenge Blogs.

The codes (abbreviations) next to the Challenge Names are detailed in the CHALLENGE CODES TAB at the top of our Paper Playful Blog.

Just a few reminders:

Most challenges begin on a specific day of the week BUT some begin on a specific date of the month. Those are what we call Other Date Challenges. For the ones that haven't been announced yet, the team will do our best to complete these once they have been posted. Because we post our Other Dates Challenges four times a month, some posts might not be updated on their specific posting day.
